Celebrating Cliveden's inspirational women

Sarah Walker

Available for over a year

Cliveden is one of the Thames Valley's finest estates, and now they're after your help to find inspirational women with a link to the area. BBC Radio Berkshire's Chris Hollins found out more. Emily Randall, Senior Visitor Experience Officer: "History is so male focused, and a lot of our stately homes are focused on men, and we were really lucky when we delved into our stories that we are so feminine. "She [Queen Victoria} stayed there... she used to come up on the boat from Windsor on the Thames. She loved Cliveden, and wrote in her journal many times about how beautiful it was. "The wonderful thing about Cliveden is it was all designed perfectly for pleasure."
